Thanks brother,
are you still doing two different ZP titles, rest day, then 3rd title solo, rest day, repeat for the listening schedule?
posted this in Stark ZP section
4 days off subs
test ran Stark ZP today 5 minutes
initially, a lot of recon, felt that familiar Stark off sense - for me, it’s heady, thoughts all over the place and feeling kind of ‘dandy’ half-hour later I dropped in and loved it.
It’s annoying because I’ve been closing in on my stack but I’m getting so much out of this already I’m going to reconsider including it in the stack. Here’s what happened
- Insane focus, just going at things until solutions started to spring up
- Knocking down complex tasks and items on my to-do list, without even referencing them, the flow is just bringing me there.
- Had a few social interactions in person and the convo’s flowed were easy and engaged- I enjoy talking/conversations more when I choose on Stark than I do on Emperor or other subs. Like I actually am present and feel hooked in part of something.
- I had mentioned I needed a new computer -and someone at work decided to buy me a new computer-yes lol- that happened!
- On zoom event I was VERY comfortable talking, jumping in. I’m always confident to do that on Emperor/Chosen and especially Khan Stage 1 (all ZP) in the past. Emperor- just say what there is to say, Chosen, say things that add value to the group and inspire all, on Khan Stage 1-just being a badass and engaging, and on Stark it was I wanted the attention again and again and had to consciously balance giving room, I also was joking with people over zoom and making funny comments which I never do on these events.
- I found myself working on my LinkedIn and had a few new connection requests-I never work on LinkedIn and barely use my personal one. I use LinkedIn to market for other people at times but not myself
- Felt sense and confidence in building my own brand and business- I have never felt this so strongly on subs- except maybe Khan Stage 1 in a different way- but this was still stronger. I did not get this on the previous Stark versions
- So much energy and motivation to do all the things I want to do
- Increased clarity around where to focus
My recent runs of Emperor may have influenced Stark but whatever the case I had a great experience running it so far. If I can find the right stack for what I have experienced with ZP, I have increasing confidence I’ll be able completely re-orient the landscape of my finances, career, and life in general in the next 3-6 months.

Why not Stark/Chosen if you like Chosen so much?
I like Chosen, but it’s not really for me at this point, and Saint recommended Stark/Chosen as a dynamite combo.
For coaching, from my pov, Stark is the one mandatory.

Concur with that one Chosen and Stark i feel would work really well for you.
Can you let me know the cognitive gains between Emperor and Stark?
Many reviews here mentioned about the gains in Stark being creative, problem solving, verbal fluency, but what about Emperor? In the sale page, it says “ Overall cognitive enhancement …” etc. but it seems like hardly any reviews mention that.
I was doing Emperor on one day, and Chosen/RICH on the other, but things got thrown off when I got my custom in the middle of my last cycle. I’m on a washout right now and going to decide a pattern moving forward. Probably running the custom on it’s own day no matter how many subs in my stack.

I may end up going with Stark, I’ll be experimenting over the next few weeks.
Chosen seems great for both coaching, internal promotion, and networking.
On Q I found very strong cognitive gains on Emperor
clear ability to comprehend complex data easier, learn new things fast etc
I have not noticed that so much on Emperor ZP- my will and focus do seem improved but inconsistently in daily performance and raising overall.
At times my cognition and comprehension seem enhanced in my ability to quickly execute complex tasks on Emperor ZP but any emotional resistance or conflict/friction throws this ability out the window. Not sure if recon or a feature of how I adapt to the sub.
Emperor ZP for overall growth has been fantastic but it works very differently than previous versions IMO. It’s not as much a state-shifter into performance/productivity sub. Although the more I run it the more that seems to become part of my character traits, slow but steady.
From my initial test on Stark - the cognition, once I got settled in, was very strong, it worked by dancing around things, following a new train of thought, having insights and revelations, and then returning to something, it was like masterful juggling. I also was very comfortable leaving open loops on Stark, on Emperor open loops drive me crazy and I seek to resolve them as fast as possible. This is both positive in certain enviroments with certain taks and also kind cause a kind of ‘stupidity’ in its own sense.

Ran 5 minutes of Emperor today- 24 hours within running Stark.
I had a bottleneck with work deliverables, as I needed information to act on priorities that I couldn’t obtain and it was fxxxing driving me crazy. I worked for 7 hours straight feeling I got nothing done. I was uncomfortable, angry, and on edge the whole time. So seems to be some recon.
Really strong upset at wanting to focus on my own empire-building rather than work value. This has not been an issue as of late, and it could have been the combination of being unable to act effectively at work being demotivating with Emperor-Stark -a strong autonomy drive combination.
Emperor doesn’t play well with going with the flow or needing to adapt to bottlenecks outside one’s control. After work whereas I normally eat and take a rest, I just kept going through personal matters, learnings, intentions. I still have a crazy drive to accomplish things.

Can you share some examples of what you consider a complex task?
“There is a difference between simple tasks and complex tasks. Simple tasks are tasks that we can perform sub-consciously. Complex tasks are tasks that require conscious thought and effort to perform to an acceptable standard .”
writing, research and analysis, organizing and documenting operations etc.

I see. Thank you for elaborating.

All this happened to me as well. With your explanation I now saw why a user told me EZP wasn’t the best for me and EQ was a better fit (which I never used).
Do you find StarkZP masculine? Many reviews mentioned SQ was quite soft. Also with SZP do you find yourself being distracted by focusing on socializing or enhanced sexuality?
Open loops drive me crazy on any version of Emperor.
If anything ZP gives me more flexibility than in just need to engage until resolution.
I really only did one day of StarkZP, I found there was quite a bit of internal strength, strong frame, and what I would qualify as masculinity. I was not distracted by socializing or enhanced sexuality in the least.

What are open loops?
1 Like
He means whole loops* i.e complete run of 15 min
I see. Thank you for clarifying.
not at all. has nothing to do with running sub loops.
It’s a term I may or may not have made up
Open-loop is a nominalization of any unfinished/unresolved process
or larger incongruity
Closed-loop is a completed one.
Don’t know if I made that up but it seems @Chase understood it
On a day to day scale:
unresolved conflict
unfished tasks
unfinished projects (the smaller the expected time scale the more)
or really anything that triggers general personal cognitive dissonance.
On a larger scale
being inconsistent with your own words or intentions- I say I will do this but I don’t etc

Been running Emperor, Emperor HOM, and Paragon
I absolutely love HOM ZP
Everything is rapidly growing and improving in my life as I deal with challenges head-on, and feel like I am discovering who I really am.
I no longer see growth just in terms of external/monetary success needing to prove anything. That’s still massively important-but it/ will be an outreach effect of my being and character, not salvation.
My spirituality is getting woven into my life in a way that I am loving. I will share more details about all later
